Listen, here, papa, if you're losin'
your mind,Don't worry about that no-gooder
all the time,If we was together, how happy we'd
be!I need you and you need me.

You don't need no plumber,'Cause I can stop your leak.You don't need no police,For I can walk your beat.You don't need no taxi,I can ride you every day,And when you get to your destination,You don't have to pay.

And if your gal refuse you,Start buzzin' like a honey bee!Don't worry about your sugar,I'd gladly let you sting me!

You don't need no pretender,Daddy, can't you see?You don't want no fooler,You need a mama like me!

Now, you don't need no pretender,Oh, daddy, can't you see?You don't want no fooler,You need a mama like me!

And if you punch me, I'll punch
you right in bed!Don't let it excite you, honey,
and go straight to your head;You may be old, dumb and cold,
and been that way for many years,But, honey, I can make you climb
a hill, and never shift a gear,If the hill's too steep to walk,
crawl on your knees!'Cause I can satisfy you, papa,
if you'll promise me!Now, let me get you told, you dirty
son of a gun!If I can't get the whole hog, mama
don't really want none!

You don't need no pretender,Oh, baby, can't you see?Now, you don't need fooler,You need a mama like me!
